As Frankenstein makes progress with his creation, he becomes obsessed with the idea of giving life to the “inanimate body” that happened to “lay at his feet” (35). His obsession turns into a craze, which causes him to disregard those around him up until the completion of his project. Apart from disregarding his father, he takes no notice of the change in seasons, which once brought him great pleasure, and his determination to complete his work negatively affects his health. The clip titled Frankenstein – The Creation most accurately depicts Shelley’s description of Frankenstein’s mental state. Although there are a few noticeable differences between the text and film adaptation, the viewer gets a glimpse of Frankenstein’s frenzied manner. We witness Frankenstein run around his laboratory as he prepares to “infuse” his creation with life. Up until the moment the Creature opens his eyes, the film beings to divert away from Shelley’s description of Frankenstein’s behavior. Just a few seconds before the Creature awakens, Frankenstein screams “live” at the top of his lungs. As if upon request, the Creature opens his eyes and we hear Frankenstein shout out a satisfactory “yes.” In contrast to the reaction depicted in this film, Shelley’s portray of this significant moment is quite different. As his creation lay before his eyes, Frankenstein couldn’t help but admire his work, “His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful” (35). As satisfied as he was in seeing the final outcome, he fled the scene as soon as the Creature came to life. These opposing reactions left me wondering about how the novel would end if Frankenstein had a positive reaction to the Creature’s awakening.
